“Safe Words” is a stand up comedy show at a gay leather bar hosted by a straight man. Verbal lashings are rare, but have been known to occur when people misbehave. The safe word (as always) is alcohol, served up by none other than the Bay Area Reporters “Best Bartender,” Steve Dalton. Kollin Holtz hosts the show, and introduces a monthly lineup of outstanding comedic talent.

Friday is Comedy night at the SoMa Streat Food Park! It’s a weird, wiggly, and hilarious party organized by two of the Bay’s most notorious ringmasters, Justin Gomes and Andrew Holmgren of Sylvan Productions. Every week they gather their funny friends together to fill a barn/tent-thing with uproarious laughter. Show starts at 8pm, be sure to show up early to grab some food and a good seat.
